Well she just lost out on several hundred future gifts that could have come from you. Count the money saved and ignore the snub.

Remember she is a kid and all that stuff you did for her was because she's a kid and didn't ask to be in this world. But now she's on the cusp of adulthood and its time to learn a few harsh lessons.

As for husband do you know for a fact that husband didn't say anything? If so then you've had a discussion with him and next Christmas may be different. If not then you should. Have something in your bedroom for the girl in case she gives you one next year.

Do you have any nieces or nephews....or maybe really good friends with kids that you are close to? Take your cash and spend it on another kid that truly appreciates you....for their birthday or something. Rave to hubby about the new *expensive gift* you bought for some other kid in front of her. Then let her see what she is missing out on. Or just treat yourself with your money.

What a super-bitch move on her part. Did she really think she was accomplishing something by snubbing you? What's with these idiot skids that don't see the ensuing consequences of their actions???

She did it on purpose cause she knew it would get under your skin...like OCC said, high time for her to learn that disrespect will get you nowhere.

"my hubby is a guess ass" Lmao i love this!

I have felt that way about mine on numerous occasions... Unfortunately it seems impossible to change this about him because he takes it as a personal assault and is too defensive to stop and think about what im actually saying and even if he did finally agree with what had been said he's too damn stubborn to admit, little old me had a valid point!

Sorry i don't really have an answer for you but if you figure out a way to break threw to your hubby please post it 900 time so i don't miss it lol

My issues right now (and once again) are with MY gutless ass husband not calling his kids out on being respectful to people or holding them accountable. I'm with ya. I know that doesn't help, but I am.

Also, I'm with december82, let me know if you find a way through to your hubby.

wow, your SD sounds like a right bi*ch tbh! I would have actually told her on her way out, thats the last time you will be setting fot in MY house you ungrateful bitch. Now I understand we are step mums and we know what we are getting into blah blah blah BUT respect and acknowledgement are normal human expectations from others. If for example my BIL's new gfriend came over and was rude to me, she would be out on her ear before her ass touched my chair, just becasue they are skids they are not entitiled to walk over you like you're nothing. and if your DH just stands by and watches then he will have a simple choice, meet your kid away from my house and out of my life OR get out out of my life NOW.
My DH makes sure every meal time skids say thank you to me for dinner and when leaving they say thank you for a lovely weekend, granted they are young and geniunly like me but this sort of behaviour and gratitude needs to be installed from early on.
